24 alternatives to React/web component for responsive images on steroids

Hey, OP here. This is hopefully interesting, especially for front-end developers. Nowadays images (JPEG, PNG, ...) can contain so-called Image Regions in their metadata [1] like cropping regions or regions of interest. So we've created a React component [2] that responsively displays the "best" cropping region, i.e. the one with the ratio closest to the current `` element size. If you don't use React we have also built a web component. [3] With this approach you no longer have to worry about whether the size of your assets will match the ratio of their containers on all devices. The…

This is a React component and web component that automatically displays the best cropping region for responsive images by reading Image Regions metadata embedded in JPEG and PNG files. Rather than manually creating… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Hey HN, we built a Chrome Extension (https://www.magicpatterns.com/extension) that converts a snippet of any website to an isolated React component. Demo video: https://youtu.be/hutUYDkyE_A How it works: 1) Iterate through each node in the selected DOM tree, 2) For each element, find any matching CSS selectors / inline styles, 3) Use window.getComputedStyle to get the deterministic values, 4) Construct JSX It was pretty hard producing the minimal code necessary while maintaining the same visual look. To do this, we implemented things like abstracting out…

    Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion. I’d love to hear your feedback
